Summary

So, I came up with what I thought was a very original idea, only to realise a few days later that it wasn't so original after all, anyways I'm still going for it.WELCOME TO MY JEGULUS ADVENT CALENDER!Originally, it was meant to be only texting fanfictions because they are so silly, but there are also a few face-to-face scenes. But like, it doesn't matter.What does matter is that, while I try to make everything fit together nicely, this is not a coherent story. Every story/texting fanfiction can easily be read separately. However, I will make them slowly fall in love over time, so it’s kind of a coherent story, without being a coherent story. For example, in the first few days, Regulus doesn't see James as a friend at all, while he the last couple of days before Christmas, he is deeply in love with his boyfriend. You get it? Hopefully.Anyways, enjoy, fvckers. And remember this is just for the shit and giggles, if you don't feel like reading this, feel free to leave.

Note

Okay, so this is the first posted story, and I want to apologize in advance for how much I need to clarify and mention right now. I promise you, starting from tomorrow, there will be no long intros. I'll still rant in the end notes, but that's also very necessary.If you really don't give a fvck, then of course, you can skip all this, but I would appreciate it if you read this because I really enjoy wasting peoples time :)First of all, I know this might sound like I'm trying to be y/n, but I'm not. English is not my mother tongue, and most of these fics have been cheked for grammar mistakes by an Ai. Please don't judge me. How the fvck am I supposed to know where to put commas???Other than that, I'm fifteen years old, and I'm not perfect, far from it. So, while I would really, really appreciate your opinions, please don't be rude. If you have any tips on how I could improve, please do share with the class.A big part of the stories I post (one for each day until the 24) are texting fanfictions. Evan those that are face-to-face are also mostly focused on the conversations, though there are exceptions. There always are.Also, I came up with this whole idea and concept a week ago, so some of these are rushed. I'm truly sorry, but this was very spontaneous.If you were wondering, the title has nothing to do with the actual content of this fanfic. It's the title of the song I have listened to the most in 2023. So, the fic name is honestly just an homage to the Måneskin song.Anyways, I think that was it, please enjoy.And if you have time, please tell me what you think in the comments – whether it's feedback (good and bad), your opinion on the plot, grammar mistakes (I apologize in advance), or maybe you just want to gossip about something.Love you, mwah

James – 01.11 PM

Hey, Reggg

Regulus – 01.11 PM

Don't call me that

James – 01.11 PM

Regulus

Regulus – 01.11 PM

James – 01.11 PM

Why not?

Regulus – 01.11 PM

Because

James – 01.12 PM

That's not an answer

And I haven't asked anything

Regulus – 01.12 PM

Yet

You're about to say something incredible stupid

I can feel it

James – 01.12 PM

Are you a seer?

Regulus – 01.12 PM

Most likely

James – 01.12 PM

Anyways, can't I text you just because I feel like it?

Regulus – 01.13 PM

James – 01.13 PM

That's mean

Regulus – 01.13 PM

I'm just honest

James – 01.13 PM

Are you busy?

Regulus – 01.13 PM

Yes

James – 01.13 PM

I feel like that’s a lie

Regulus – 01.14 PM

Then you must be the seer, because indeed it was, I just don’t want to talk to you

James – 01.14 PM

What about this weekend?

Regulus – 01.14 PM

Busy

James – 01.14 PM

Busy as in a lie?

Regulus – 01.14 PM

Yes

James – 01.14 PM

So, you’re free

Regulus – 01.14 PM

James – 01.14 PM

Okay

Cool

Regulus – 01.15 PM

What did you want?

James – 01.15 PM

I already told you I just wanted to text you

Regulus – 01.15 PM

And I already told you I know that’s a lie

James – 01.15 PM

Seer

Regulus – 01.15 PM

Don’t try to change the subject, it’s not working

Why are you texting me?

James – 01.16 PM

Me, Sirius, Remus, Peter and most likely Lily, Marlene and Mary too, are planning on heading for the park this Saturday, want to come along?

Regulus – 01.16 PM

Aren't Mckinnon going on a date with Dorcas this Saturday?

James – 01.16 PM

I don’t know

Maybe she double booked her schedule, sounds like her

Regulus – 01.16 PM

And I thought Evans was out of town

James – 01.16 PM

She’s back on Friday

Regulus – 01.17 PM

Well, my answer is no

James – 01.17 PM

Because Lily’s coming along?

Regulus – 01.17 PM

Because I don’t want to

James – 01.17 PM

What can I offer you that would make you change your answer?

Regulus – 01.17 PM

Nothing

James – 01.17 PM

Why not?

Regulus – 01.18 PM

Because there’s people

I don’t like people

James – 01.18 PM

But Sirius would really want you there

And I kind of want you there too

Regulus – 01.18 PM

If Sirius wants me there, why doesn’t he text me himself

James – 01.18 PM

He asked me to do it, since his phone is dead

Regulus – 01.18 PM

It's not, I saw him charge it this morning

James – 01.19 PM

The plug wasn’t in

Regulus – 01.19 PM

Sounds like him

Well, tell him that I won't come

James – 01.19 PM

Please, Reg, it’s just for fun and if fun to you means sitting in silence and reading it’s completely fine

Regulus – 01.19 PM

Sirius won't let me. He's going to end up stealing my book away

James – 01.19 PM

What if Sirius wasn’t there then?

Regulus – 01.20 PM

You're just going to uninvite him?

James – 01.20 PM

It's not uninviting if he isn't invited yet, is it?

Regulus – 01.20 PM

Sorry, but I’m not following

You said all of you had planned to go to the park

How is he uninvited then?

James – 01.20 PM

Well

It's my plan, you see

Heading to the park, I mean

And I haven't invited people yet because I wanted to get you to agree before promising anyone you’d be there

So, if it means getting you to agree, I'm sure I could convince Remus to take Sirius on a date, so he won't be there to annoy you

Regulus – 01.21 PM

So, then it’d be you, me, Peter and Mary

James – 01.21 PM

And Lily

Regulus – 01.21 PM

No, I just checked the calendar and she’s not back before Sunday

So, she won’t make it

James – 01.21 PM

Guess, I got the wrong date, I was certain she would come home this Friday

Also, yes, then it would be you, me, Peter and Mary

Regulus – 01.21 PM

Among your friends, there’s only a few I actually talk to, and you just uninvited all those people

James – 01.22 PM

I did not

Regulus – 01.22 PM

Marlene, Remus, Sirius and Lily

James – 01.22 PM

It's not my fault they can't make it

Regulus – 01.22 PM

Move it to another day then

James – 01.22 PM

Would you come then

Regulus – 01.22 PM

James – 01.23 PM

I'll uninvite Peter and Mary then

Regulus – 01.23 PM

So, it’s just going to be us?

James – 01.23 PM

Yeah

Regulus – 01.23 PM

I thought this was a group trip to the park

James – 01.23 PM

So, you want Peter and Mary to come along?

Regulus – 01.23 PM

James – 01.24 PM

Good then, I'll come pick you up at 2 pm Saturday

Regulus – 01.24 PM

Wait

Not so fast, Potter

I'm not going to the park with you

James – 01.24 PM

Why not?

Regulus – 01.24 PM

Because I'm not going on a date with you

James – 01.24 PM

I never said anything about a date

Why can't we just be two people going to the park together

Regulus – 01.25 PM

Because you’re going to bring a pink blanket and a picnic basket with strawberries and melted chocolate

James – 01.25 PM

Okay, Regulus, that’s very judgemental, maybe I just want to get to know you better

Regulus – 01.25 PM

I'm not going on a date with you, Potter

James – 01.25 PM

No, of course not

We're just going to the park together

No romantic feelings at all

I understand your concern, but it’ll be all platonic, I promise

Regulus – 01.26 PM

You do understand that I have no reason to say yes

James – 01.26 PM

You also have no reason to say no

Regulus – 01.26 PM

I do have a reason

I don’t want to go on a date with you

James – 01.26 PM

I told you it wasn’t a date

Unless it of course can't be anything but a date to you

Do you think of dating me that much, Reg?

Regulus – 01.26 PM

I really don’t

James – 01.27 PM

So, we can go to the park without involving any romantic feelings, right?

Regulus – 01.27 PM

Yes

Wait no

Hold up

We can, doesn’t mean we have to

James – 01.27 PM

Don’t you want to prove yourself

Regulus – 01.27 PM

Prove what?

James – 01.27 PM

That you can hang out with me in a non-romantic way

Regulus – 01.27 PM

I really don’t feel like doing that

James – 01.28 PM

Because it’s a lie, you are only interested in me romantically

Regulus – 01.28 PM

It's not

James – 01.28 PM

Prove it then

Regulus – 01.28 PM

Fine, come pick me up at 2 pm on Saturday

Just you and me in the park

And no romantic feelings

James – 01.28 PM

It sounds like you’re trying to jinx it

Regulus – 01.29 PM

I'm not

James – 01.29 PM

Sure

Anyways, 2 pm Saturday, got it

Regulus – 01.29 PM

And no romantic feelings

James – 01.29 PM

Perfect

I have to go now, though

It was lovely chatting with you, Reg

See you on our date on Saturday :)
